I am officially old
#2
No bifocals, I wear contacts most of the time, but I'm needing reading glasses now too. Close up vision seemed to start deteriorating the same day I turned 40. Now at 44 I bought a cheap pair of reading glasses.
Ear hair, weird pube-like eyebrow hairs and huge gray nostril hairs are starting to show up too. Fun huh?

The reading glasses thing got me last year. I was trying to read the part number on a small fuse and just couldn't do it. Sucks to get old...

I wear my glasses for work, PC, and depending on how fuzzy the cones are, sometimes auto cross LOL.
I know I need a new perscription too. I did a series of photos and they all looked a little fuzzy. So I tweeked the focus on them in Capture NX, all my friends said the pictures were beyond crisp in focus. :(

That's interesting. I've worn glasses for years, and had no problem with my Shoei full-face helmet. Obviously you have to take off the glasses, put on the helmet, and then put the glasses back on.

Never had a problem with glasses or sunglasses under a helmet. I've been wear oakley glasses and sunglasses for a long time now, maybe this helps.
At 37 I'm on the verge of needing reading glasses too :( I wear contacts now, but have trouble with anything close up, if I'm wearing glasses I just look over or under to read close up stuff. Not possible for contacts.
I'm considering getting laser surgery, would still have to wear reading glasses ... but a least I wouldn't have to wear the contacts anymore.

I wish I could get lasik or the implantable contacts but my astigmatism is too bad. I'm 42 and it just started deteriorating in the last year. Having a hard time with small print on packaging or parts. Can't read the .020" increments on a machinist's scale anymore. That's the one that really bothered me.
